BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT
6HOP studies how multi-hop heterogeneous wireless IPv6 networks can support mobility of users, packet routing and adaptation to varying link conditions. 6HOP aims to research and demonstrate a heterogeneous wireless IPv6 network consisting of several different wireless technologies. End-to-end optimization for IPv6 based services over multi-hop heterogeneous wireless network with respect to throughput, power consumption and implementation complexity have been considered. The results from previous IST project WINE using a platform independent wireless adaptation layer has also been exploited, streamlined and extended.
The project has been successfully completed. Several demonstrations were given at the review, with the objectives of showing multi-hop wireless networking using the DSR ad-hoc routing protocol and of showing the improvement in performance when the Protocol Booster was used in real-time video streaming application.
Our group worked in the design and specification of the 6HOP architecture. It performed an intensive measurement campaign over a multi-hop 802.11 platform in order to study the behaviour of TCP and UDP over multi-hop wireless environment. We also developed the DSR protocol as well as the FEC module, including them in the overall archictecture.
